Anyone who builds telescopes?

Hi,

Hope this is the right location to ask... was going to post in classifieds but thought I would ask about interest first. Does anyone on the forum build their own telescopes and might be interested in a couple of lens from tabletop inspection lamps?

As no-one else has replied to your message, I thought I would mention that the focal lengths of those magnifying lenses are too short and not suitable to build a telescope around it.

Thank you Bill,

That's good information to know. I was thinking that a compound lens assembly could be realised but after working through the idea a bit, it makes sense that it wouldn't.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond.
